Firefox 116 ends support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. Firefox Portable Legacy 115 has been released as a custom channel separate from Stable and ESR which will continue to support Windows 7/8/8.1 through Sept 2024. It can run alongside Firefox Stable without issue.

When existing Stable users upgrade from 115.x to 116.x, a FirefoxPortableLegacy115 instance will automatically be created alongside the existing FirefoxPortable stable instance. This instance will also automatically be kept up to date by the PA.c Platform for users who use it. When Firefox Portable 116 is run on an unsupported version of Windows, it will offer to run FirefoxPortableLegacy115 if it exists. If it does not exist, it will offer to take you to its homepage to download it.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
